Socialist Party Fails To Renovate
Although the new political season had to start with newstructures, in the SP the old structures still remain in office and because ofthis a covid pandemic has taken place 19. The pink headquarters has not yetmanaged to find the opportunity to convene the Assembly, which should elect thenew presidency, secretariats and secretary general.
Sources suggest that even in the meeting on Tuesdayafternoon held between Prime Minister Rama and the old leaders of the SP, itwas not possible to agree on a date for the development of the assembly,despite the fact that inside the pink headquarters it is claimed that the new structuresshould be elected in September.
But the most important issues in the SP are not only theposts in the party, but the dissatisfaction within the circle of socialistsstarting from the base with the work of mayors and ministers.
The Socialist leader Rama has previously stated thatwith the election of the new leadership he would also appoint political leadersin the regions, where Shkodra remains the most problematic, which since theresignation of Valdrin Pjetri, the socialists have been divided.
Rama has tried to centralize these shortcomings with thedivision of Albania into three regions under the rule of the 3 socialists,where the north is ruled by him, Central Albania by Taulant Balla and South bythe Speaker of the Assembly Gramoz Ruçi.
Although the date of the assembly has not been set yet,sources suggest that the priority of the main leaders of the Socialists is thelist of candidates for MPs who will go to the next parliamentary elections inthe spring of 2021 with the SP logo.
The elections in the party are not a strong point of EdiRama, but his main goal is the third term and for this he managed to change theConstitution of Albania to remove the pre-election coalitions to harm the DP.
